I believe in Naturopathic Medicine and would love to give up my MD who keeps on prescribing more and more drugs every time I see him. However, my insurance does not cover the cost of visiting a ND while to visit my MD, I have to pay only $10.00 as out of pocket expence the rest is covered by insurance.

 Instead of continuing to tell patients to go talk to your giant  insurance company or your employer -which is as everybody understand is easily said than done- why don't the ND's group together and pressure the mega insurance companies like Regence Blue Cross to include coverage for visiting ND's?

If the MD's and DO's could get together to make insurance companies recoganize them, so should the ND's and make it easier for us poor patients and employees to visit ND's.
